I don't understand why this thing won't start. I fixed some minor leaks today by replacing the valve cover gasket and the distributor o-ring. I also replaced a coolant hose.

When I finished everything I made sure that the single vacuum hose and the only wire connector that I had disconnected were reconnected.

I cleaned up the dizzy cap and reinstalled it, stuffed the wires onto the plugs and then.....nothing. The engine turns but not a single cylinder fired. I do get a faint smell of gasoline from the intake side of the head, but other than that I have no clues as to the problem.

I even checked to see if something was wrong with the coil spring. Nothing there.

Anyone have an idea? Please help if you can.....I just lost my job of seven years and this is the only car I have.
